Bad Ground?
Located in a place with lots of heat?

Do you have an old / dead module?  could try to figure out where it's failing?

When one goes the other is going as well . Change the heater fan as well . Did the same changed the resistor then two weeks later nothing , then changed both . That was three years ago

Mine went tonight :o. Got in and it was working fine so I turned it off until the Heep warmed up and then nothing at all. Anyone have a good price on resistors? And should it still be working at full speed if it is the resistor? Fuses tested OK.

Yep, and ONLY high.

The fan resistors blow because of age...or high amp draw on blower motor, if not to bad, change em as a pair.

Any news on the pook-pusher bumper project?

As said when the fan starts to go it pulls more amps and cooks the resistor pack. Had that happen to me a couple of times.
